In round 3058 Shani Naylor and Chris Carson shared top spot with 4 points. Since Chris had 4 natural
points with 4 votes for his definition "a pack; a bundle", he takes the dealer spot, and Shani is
runner-up and real winner.
The true definition was 1, “a horse”, which 4 players guessed; surprisingly, no-one was DQ.
